And on the flip side, I wouldn't be surprised if software still gets updated as Valve keeps its minimum requirements as low as possible. As long as the drivers work, there isn't a reason for different editions of the Steam Deck to run different versions.

Doubtful

I would expect Israeli intelligence to know to go get commercial grade satellite imagery to circular. I'm not looking at this image is false or an isolated act.

I'm just saying that Israel has a vested interest in pushing a media narrative that is against what the Trump administration is pushing in this specific case and has the resources to provide backup information.

Assuming a competent set of diplomats, I wouldn't be surprised if some back channels between Iran and the USA agreed to these limited exchanges to save face and not go to war.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Israel knew this and is exposing this as a way to push the USA to war.

Not exactly.

There were attempts after Mao to try to remove the threat of dictatorship from the government. The Politboro operated as a full committee until Xi consolidated power.

Even if you aren't, the tolerance of executions is pretty high.

A country has to execute a lot of people per year to suffer some form of international consequences.

I would rather have a poor attempt at setting up a system to prevent genocide than none at all.

Honestly, the best country to approach this would be China, and I don't think China would want to deal with the risk of building infrastructure.

What's a Dutch woman going to say when you ask for her sign?

Stop.

Well, they fired the guy who said Israel was America'a worst ally.

So this is how they try to kick out the party this time.

Three things.

1) The economic transfers to MENA countries to detain migrants isn't that large. In comparison, "promote human rights and rule of law" is an equivalent to nation building, which will require a much higher price tag.

2) Do MENA countries even want it and will it turn out how we expect it? Lybia has devolved into two civil wars after the removal of Gaddafi. Egypt reversed its Arab Spring moment as the Muslim Brotherhood was writing a constitution to make Egypt a one party state. These countries may not want government level intervention.

3) Part of the reason for EU expansion was to make less developed eastern countries more developed via trade. That process is still ongoing. I doubt these countries are going to want EU development funds to leave the union or for trade to shift to countries with far lower labor costs.

I think it is just a different way that tourism is handled.

A lot of tourism within the USA is handled in specific tourism districts/cities. In cases where tourism is big in cities not built for tourism like New York and Philadelphia, there are still districts in the city that locals gave up in exchange for having other districts that aren't as deluged by tourism.

In Europe, the tourism district is usually the most important historically and culturally.

The EU has a bearbones wealth transfer development mechanism within the EU. Why would it pay for a far more expensive system to develop parts of the world outside the EU?

Even a NAFTA like system would be very unpopular as it would shift a lot of industry and jobs outside the EU.

Outside of cloud services, all governments would need to do is define service contracts based on number of users, which isn't that different from other support contacts like Microsoft 365.

I feel like building European owned cloud servers are going to be the biggest problem.

I feel really bad that she's going through this.

He's been saying that he'd entertain buying COMAC for a while. I'm not surprised, in party just because of Airbus and Boeing's backlog.

That might be true of you, but that likely isn't true for a lot of people. I can see a lot of people blanking out over the chemical that have everyone cancer in that movie.

They mentioned her because people probably remember what the chemical did and major settlement from the pollution as to why this chemical release is so important.
